Auto Dimension Settings Dialog
The Auto Dimension Settings dialog lets you specify how auto exterior and auto interior dimensions are created and displayed.
Include dimension strings for:
Overall. The outermost dimension string that dimensions the overall length of each exterior wall.
Projections. String that dimensions all projecting points along an exterior wall. If a wall has no projections, this string will be identical to the overall dimension string.
Openings: String that dimensions all major projections and all openings in the exterior walls, including door and window openings. Openings can be dimensioned on center, or to the outside edges (see the Openings area of the dialog).
Interior Walls: String that dimensions to all major projections and each interior wall that projects into the exterior wall. Interior walls can be dimensioned on center, or to the walls’ outside edges (this is specified in the Interior Walls area of the dialog).
Dimension Line Distances
Dim Line Spacing: The spacing between successive dimension lines (when two or more strings are used).
Dimension Offset: The distance between the first dimension string and the walls.
Openings
If you are including a dimension string for openings, you can specify whether you want the openings to be dimensioned on center, or to the edges of the openings.
Extension Lines
Extension lines extend from the dimension line toward the walls being dimensioned. In situations where dimension points are not parallel with each other, you can specify whether you want the extension lines to extend all the way to the dimension points, or whether you want them to line up with the shortest dimension point.
Interior Walls
If you are including the Interior Walls dimension string, you can specify whether you want the walls to be dimensioned on center, or to the walls’ outside edges.
Specify how you want interior walls to be dimensioned by selecting the appropriate radio button. You can dimension to one side or the other, on center, or to both sides of the wall.
